Theory of Machines and Mechanisms / John J. Uicker, Gordon R. Pennock, Joseph E. Shigley

Theory of Machines and Mechanisms provides the foundation for the study of displacements, velocities, accelerations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems. The authors present the background, notation, and nomenclature essential for students to understand the various and independent technical approaches that exist in the field of mechanisms, kinematics, and dynamics. Coverage of all analysis and development methods is balanced, with the use of both analytic and graphic tools. This text is ideal for senior or graduate students studying mechanical engineering, taking a kinematics and/or machine dynamics course.
Features


Includes an introduction to kinematic coefficients, which clearly separates kinematic (geometric) effects from operating speed and other dynamic dependences, and unifies the coverage of linkages with that for cams and geared systems


Contains entirely new chapters on the analysis and design of flywheels, governors, and gyroscopes


Provides graphical and analytical solutions to exercises, now verified by professional CAD software with an accuracy rate of better than one percent


Offers new, quality illustrations, now in two colors


Solutions Manual and PowerPoint Overheads available to adopters only
